Chapter 56

"You know where she is?" asked Jordon, then shook his head. "Of course you do. I am just too used to my friends disappearing mysteriously to think that Neje might not have been caught in the same trap."

"I do know where she is. I took her there myself. She is safe, but she isn't happy. You might be able to help her. She is worried about her mother. Jeela is falling deeper under the curse of that mirror every day. Even if she doesn't catch Neje, the strain is telling on her. Neje can't do anything but make things worse, but perhaps you can help."

"So where is Princess Neje?" asked Rapunzel.

"She's with the giants," answered Jack.

After they got over their shock at Jack's announcement, Jordon and Rapunzel started talking at once. Jack just laughed and suggested that rather than answer their questions he would send them to see her. Rapunzel grabbed her pack and followed him out the door. Jordon cawed and flew after her.
